Weekend Work - A Day - 9 January

AP Research

It was a writing day for our introductions and lit reviews today. I hope that you were able to generate content and spend time locking in some of the preliminary work - a really important task as we get ready to collect, analyze, and organize data in order to answer our questions.

Into this weekend we have several things to accomplish. First, the fifteenth reflection has been posted for you. Additionally, you should continue to update your PREP folder as you are working. Log your tasks. Note your progress. Update your communication.


Next week is the last week of the quarter. We will have a lesson from College Board on the academic paper before more time for writing. The last day of the quarter will be a peer editing workshop. I think that it will be a productive day for us all.

Russian I

Today in class we learned our fifth case declensions - the instrumental case. Remember that this case is used with the word "with" in Russian. It's used to say how the action got done, what was used to complete it, and it's also used with greetings related to holidays. We did a quick practice activity before going on to our movie.


Over the weekend you have a worksheet like our warm-up today. Look at the English sentences and determine which case would be needed. Think about the different case jobs we've learned! This is a great practice for you.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we had our reassessment on numbers, time, and also on complex sentences with который - all important skills for our exam next week. After our reassessment time we had a chance to work through the various expressions that Russians use to talk about time. I know that it's confusing, but if you try to see that each preposition has a particular job, that helps to clarify it.


I've given you a lot of exercises and guides to help you through this unit. Review and prepare this weekend for the exam. You'll have the exam on Monday and a chance to make corrections on Friday.
